I DIY! Runway-Ready Brooches, Chokers, and Belts Made Easy By Our Make-It Mistress
Thanks to our trusty DIY guru Erica Domesek of P.S.—I Made This fame, we know that busting out your creative chops at home never has to mean hokey or homespun. Instead, Erica proves time and time again that being crafty can yield some utterly chic surprises. For this challenge, we asked our make-it mistress to whip up the DIY equivalent to three of our favorite accessory trends, one from London, Paris, and New York. And while you might never expect a cupcake wrapper could factor into a fabulous jaw-dropping brooch or a roll of tape could be transformed into an eye-popping choker, behold: These DIY projects yield some statement-making extras you'll be proud to show off.
1. Big Bauble Necklace (inspired by Michael Kors)—I love the pearlized lucite effect with packing tape. This necklace is killer and easy to make!
Materials Needed:
Clear Packing Tape (Staples has these cute mini ones!)
Hex nuts (try any local hardware store)
Ribbon (amazing organza at M&J Trimming)
How To: 1. String it! Alternate tape rolls and hex nuts on ribbon.
2. Knot a few smaller Hex nuts at the end in a cluster.
3. Sting one last Hex nut on the ribbon to finish ends.
4. Make a bow…then make a statement!
